Competing in the AAAI scavenger hunt with a budget robot built of commodity parts

摘要

Bridgewater State College's entry into the AAAI-06 scavenger hunt was built of commodity parts. It priced in less than half of the price of any of the other competitors in the scavenger hunt. It still managed to find several objects and perform at a reasonable level. Such a robot platform is ideal for use as a budget educational robot.
